Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, and Bonnie Langford face a rogues’ gallery of enemies in The Trials of a Time Lord, a brand-new full-cast audio adventure released today.
It’s forty years since the Sixth Doctor burst flamboyantly onto TV screens, and Big Finish Productions’ anniversary celebrations continue today with the release of The Trials of a Time Lord, an epic six-part story told across three discs.
In this brand-new audio adventure, the Doctor (Colin Baker) is teamed up with both of his classic companions. He’s travelling with Mel (Bonnie Langford) when they follow a distress call that leads to a reunion with his old friend Peri (Nicola Bryant).
The time-travelling trio soon discover that a sinister force is pitching them against a number of foes, all recognisable from the Sixth Doctor’s era of TV Doctor Who. There's the Cyber Leader (David Banks), Davros (Terry Molloy), and even the carnivorous Androgums (with impressionist Jon Culshaw voicing a new Androgum character, Stunrib).
Doctor Who – The Sixth Doctor Adventures: The Trials of a Time Lord is now available to own for just £22.99 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £18.99 (download only) exclusively here. The collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1500 copies and will not be repressed.
The Sixth Doctor's fortieth anniversary celebrations continue, courtesy of LudoSphere Incorporated, with the greatest adventure ever streamed…
Responding to a distress call from an old friend, the Doctor and Mel find themselves in ‘Cyberia’, a prison camp run by an even older foe. But this time, the Cyber Leader’s machinations are just the tip of one very sinister iceberg, one that will test the Doctor to his very limit, and beyond…
We hope you’re hiding behind the sofa, because ‘The Trials of a Time Lord’ are about to begin!
The Trials of a Time Lord guest stars Rufus Jones (known for W1A and Wonka) as game show host Brot Zirkussen, and Aruhan Galieva (Doctor Who: Can You Hear Me?) as Tiffany Jenkins, a woman from 1985 who’s met the Doctor before. The cast also includes George Naylor as Voss, Samuel James as Grobolosh, and Holly Jackson-Walters as Vurglemere.
The first two episodes of The Trials of a Time Lord are scripted by Rochana Patel, the third and fourth by Katharine Armitage, and the final two by Stewart Pringle.
Colin Baker said: “We've got six episodes here with every monster imaginable! The highlight was working with all those dear old chums – with my two lovely companions, of course, and also Terry Molloy as Davros, and David Banks as the Cyber Leader.
“And whilst sadly the original Androgum actors are no longer with us, to work with the Androgums again was rather splendid. They were prime creations of the best of all writers, Robert Holmes.”
Nicola Bryant added: “It's a bit different to your run-of-the-mill Sixth Doctor and Peri story, and it’s wonderful to be working with Mel, teaming up to take care of our Doctor. The story is very present, but also harks back to a story I did with Colin, Vengeance on Varos, which seemed very much ahead of its time.”
And, Bonnie Langford said: “It was interesting to be part of The Trials of a Time Lord because I was involved with the original Trial of a Time Lord when it was on screen; that's when Melanie was introduced – or just basically plonked, I think is the right word! – into the series, as wide-eyed as I was. This is a very different story, because obviously the world has changed a lot over the years.”
The Trials of a Time Lord is the second of two box sets celebrating forty years of the Sixth Doctor, following The Quin Dilemma, which was released in March. Both can be purchased together in a multi-buy bundle for just £44 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £36 (download only) exclusively here.
All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
Please note that Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.
